Tuesday, October 16, 2012. The Glory of Gold. Here is my first gold leafing attempt, the enlarged initial letter " Bet. Is made from 23 karat Italian gold. I love the way the gold is raised and not flat like the paint used to be, it adds character and class to the artwork. Here is the actual gold, you have to be so careful with this stuff if your finger touches the gold it will literally disintegrate, yet when applied to the glue base it lasts forever. Pretty amazing.

Shira Gabriela Blog: December 2012

Monday, December 24, 2012. From the rising of the sun to its setting, the Lord's name is praised" (Psalms 113:3). One of my first commissions when I started my business seven years ago was a painting entitled "City of Gold." It was a cutout of Jerusalem's skyline painted gold with silver accents with Psalms 122 written in the center. I made Jerusalem in a closed circle because of the third verse of that Psalm which states, "Jerusalem is built up like a city that is united together.". Oh yeah, and that's ...

Shira Gabriela Blog: Forever My Jerusalem
http://shiragabriela.blogspot.com/2012/07/forever-my-jerusalem.html
Friday, July 20, 2012. Sung every Friday night at theYakar shul in the Katmon neighborhood. I think of Naomi, my 65 year old hippie art teacher at the Israel Museum, who would affectionately call me “ Shira, Yafati, Tamati. 8221; a paraphrase from the book of Shir Hashirim. She was a secular Israeli but she was always quoting Rabbinic aphorisms and verses from Tanakh. I think of the hundreds of Shabbat meals and cups of cafe hafuchs. I shared with friends, like minded olim. All the street names rich with...

Wednesday, October 16, 2013. The Beauty of Prints. Also I see it costs $1,050.if you make it a little smaller could you do it for $300? Or even people who realize the impossibility of that request just don't want to spend so much on their ketubah when weddings are already so costly. Here is a picture of his ketubah:. The only thing I added by hand was the border text which is the first line of Eishet Chayil and a beautiful poem by Yehuda Halevy:. Part of this poem appears on my ketubah as well!

Shira Gabriela Blog: April 2012
http://shiragabriela.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 2, 2012. Let Them Eat Paint! Ok, not really, unless it's the kind by Wilton with which you can decorate cookies. But do let kids paint! Or color.or bake.or create dinosaurs out of modeling clay or do anything that's fun and creative and yes, a little bit messy. Letting kids paint on an 8x10 piece of construction paper is nice. Adding in a little glue and glitter is even better. But, letting them paint the windows of your home is AWESOME! Painting on the walls! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Shira Gabriela Blog: The Divine Within
http://shiragabriela.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-divine-within.html
Thursday, February 21, 2013. I entitled this piece, The Divine Within, as a play on the fact that the word " HaMelech. Is encircled in several layers of design and pesukim. From the books of Esther and Zecharya. Through paralleling these two sefarim. I wanted to highlight how to find the Divine within ourselves and others when God is hidden, just as He is in the Megillah. Here is the article that accompanied the piece:. Love Truth and Peace! In the book of Zecharya we are told of the following incident: ...

Shira Gabriela Blog: March 2014
http://shiragabriela.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 3, 2014. I've always loved this prayer written by R'Elimelech of Lizhensk, one of the founding Rebbes of the Hasidic movement. My translation of the prayer reads:. I translated the word Adaraba as "rather," which makes me wonder if there's a paragraph that precedes this well known prayer that says something along the lines of, "the baseless hatred that exists in our hearts is tearing our people apart. Rather. What exists now doesn't have to be our reality.adaraba. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
